    Hello all.

    I am lucky enough to have had a 2nd generation iPod (b/w screen, 4 buttons & clickwheel) that has never given me any trouble whatsoever. Until now.

    I plugged it in to my iMac last night for the first time in about 6 weeks & it caused some problems after I wiped it...

    Occasionally it froze my iTunes for no reason but mainly froze it when I tried to transfer songs...

    Has anyone experienced similar problems & could anyone offer any advice?

    All help greatly appreciated.

    Ta.

    I didn't know it was even legal to keep using an iPod for so long without upgrading! ;)

    My wild guess is hard drive is dying, but you will get more info at http://ilounge.com forums

    I know, I know... I've been very lucky with my little old iPod...

    Unbelievably enough it's literally the very first bit of trouble it's ever given me...
    I think you are right about the HD as it was making some worryingly audible clicking noises as it tried to initialise before it finally connected... then, when I tried to copy songs across manually, it kicked up a fuss...

    Will have a look at that iLounge site you mentioned...

    Thanks!
